Cook Medical hosted an amazing Vista education event on treating obstructive iliac venous disease. The event was held in Mexico, with 18 physicians from all over Mexico attending. Dr Villegas led the course and was assisted by Dr Manuel Pabon from Colombia. The two-day course included hands-on training in a cadaver lab, where participants practiced placing stents and filters as well as removing the filters. Thanks to our distributor, Endomedica, for their support in coordinating the event!
